The Boone County Hospital (BCH) Emergency Department provides emergency care due to injury or illness 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Our specially trained team is dedicated to providing patients with the highest quality of emergency care.  Our Board Certified physicians, as well as our nursing staff who are certified in adult and pediatric advanced life support and trauma nursing, provide effective and compassionate treatment of injuries and illnesses.  Our Emergency Room is staffed by physicians 24 hours a day under the direction of Dr. Tim Evert, Medical Director.

We utilize a triage system in which patients who come to the Emergency Department with the most serious conditions are treated first.  Our health care team will provide evaluation and patient care management utilizing the latest diagnostic testing and referral, when needed, for the next phase of your health care needs.
